+This is a Microchip PIC32 ICSP (in circuit serial programmer) for PIC32 micro-controllers. Mindy allows a PIC32 to program the flash on a PIC32.
 Mindy is a port of [[:projects:mork|Mork]] which in turn is an adaptation of [[:projects:nanu-nanu|Nanu nanu]] Microchip PIC32MX ICSP. This time Mindy is for PIC32 based boards such as the [[:boards:chipkitpi|chipKIT Pi]] and the [[:boards:sdxl|SDXL]].
